Are you self-destructing but don't know how to stop? A shame spiral can be hard to get out of. Hear how Coach Jon cured himself of food addiction, lost 120 lbs., and healed emotionally, after a trauma that left him hospitalized. Learn the tools you can use to escape the pain and shame spiral that comes from self-soothing in unproductive ways. In this conversation you'll learn how to do that through having "curious conversations" with yourself.
About Our Guest: Jonathan McLernon
Coach Jon survived an attempted murder and lost his life savings. He gained over 120 pounds in six months and was suffering from anxiety attacks. His remarkable story takes us through his journey to rebuild himself from the ground up.
Today he uses his learning from that journey to help people change their habits through understanding "brain-driven" weight loss and the principles of permanent behavior change and the compassion of human connection.

Are you struggling to break an unhealthy habit? You could find relief in a surprising place! Experts are linking addictive behaviors to disconnection with ourselves. So healing may lie in self-love. In this episode we're talking with Dr. Natacha Nelson about how to reconnect with ourselves as an antidote for counterproductive habits.
After healing her own life from the traumatic events of her past, Dr. Natacha Nelson now helps others understand the connection between their physical, emotional, and spiritual worlds. She's going to help us learn to listen to, and accept, our emotions as a means to release our need for emotional escape. She will share how we can shift from running away from ourselves to feeling freedom right where we are.
Natacha Nelson, DC, MA has dedicated her career to understanding the connections between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being through principles of Chiropractic and Spiritual Psychology. For twenty years, she has worked in private practice, helping thousands of patients understand and care for their body and health.
